The ultimate goal of sonification is to transfer information effectively to listeners. While there is a large amount of multidisciplinary investigation in the field of psychoacoustic, psychology, cognition and human computer ...

This paper explores an intensity-based approach to sound feedback in systems for embodied learning. We describe a theoretical framework, design guidelines, and the implementation of and results from an informant workshop. ...

This paper discusses an exploration using a concurrent auditory displays for awareness and lightweight interactions. The design of this type of system and comparisons to existing awareness tools are discussed. The auditory ...

Impact sounds produced by everyday objects are an important source of information about contact interactions in virtual environments and auditory displays. Impact signals also provide a rich class of real and synthetic ...

This paper describes a way to incorporate sound into a raster based classified image. Methods for determining the sound location, amplitude, type and how to create a layer to store the information are described. Hurdles ...

This paper presents a subjective assessment among 32 test subjects performed to investigate the question of possible cross-modal division of attention in interactive audiovisual application systems. We give an overview on ...

The aim of the experiment described in this paper is to evaluate and compare three different methods for interacting with an algorithm for the sonification of data streams. The experiment was carried out using an existing ...

In battlefield environments of the future, auditory warnings may be integrated with tactile cues in multimodal displays. The U.S. Army is exploring the use of audio and tactile multimodal displays in applications such as ...

There has been some interest in the study of individual differences in the field of auditory displays, but we argue that there is a much greater potential than has been realized, to date. Relevant types of individual ...

This paper explores qualitative changes that occur in voices and instruments in relationships with changing spaces ordinarily held in a stationary paradigm of performance practice, spatial transformations and the effect ...

In this paper we report an experimental comparison between three different types of audio reminders in the home setting: speech, earcons, and a simple pager sound. We examine how quickly and accurately participants were ...

This paper presents a unique insight into the way acousticians, computing specialists and sound designers describe the dimensions of sound they use. Seventy-five audio professionals completed a detailed questionnaire created ...

The goal of this research is increased safety and human performance in aviation. Human errors are often consequences of actions brought about by poor design. The pilot communicates with the aircraft system through an ...

Virtual Auditory Display (VAD) technology is expected to enable the development of new communication tools and many other related applications. However, in computer-network-based communications, large latencies can sometimes ...

Warning signals are often very simple and monotone sounds. This paper focuses on taking a more musical approach to the design of warnings and alarms than has been the case in the past. We present an experimental pilot study ...

Sphere scattering models are commonly used with binaural synthesis as they provide a convenient approximation of the acoustic characteristics of the human head. However these models suffer from being an over simplification ...

Of the many cues that could be used to gauge selfmotion, auditory cues seem to be the least studied. Listeners could potentially use either a sweep of rising sound intensity to judge their self-motion towards an object or ...

This paper will discuss a human-system and application centered approach to the conduct of research on auditory alerting system design, from the perspective of 30 years of human factors research on design principles for ...

Is the sound of a train whistling more similar to the sound of the wheels of a train or to the sound of your whistle? This question addresses the comparative relevance of acoustical and conceptual information to the perceived ...

Auditory graph design and implementation often has been subject to criticisms of arbitrary or atheoretical decision-making processes in both research and application. Despite increasing interest in auditory displays coupled ...
